Sir, — [ consider it my duty, in the absence of my respected leader, Mr Carson, Fol* n few days, to contraditfc the statements put FoMh by the Southland Government, namely — that no payable gold fii'ld exists in this Province. Sir, this is false, no Mr Csirson and myself will open up two payable ejold fiokls in this Province, l'f the Government will pity us £5000 upon the receipt of the first five , thousand ounces of gold arriving from said discoveries. I am "confidently informed that the present Govrt-hmcnt will place every obstacle in our way ; but "I may tell them we have reported our disco. ! •voi*y to ! the Auckland Government., and I have no dutiltfc but that Mr ''arson will obtain from them the justice of our claim, which has been denied by •interested p.-irties here.
